Maybe Daryl is Daruk's other name in our world.
Mipha is Michelle
Urbosa is Uma
Revali is Reeve
Here's the latest trailer. It looks just as stunning as the first one!

Save data bonus. Just another small kick to people who played BotW on Wii U because we couldn't afford a Switch at release.
Maybe it's just the structure of the trailer but it feels pretty disjointed narratively and I worry they're gonna focus so much on the fanservice to the fact you can play as the champions, they're gonna botch the calamity. Visuals look nice though. Revali's combat looks great.

I'm kind of expecting the story to take turns with each champion, like they each get an arc in turn of you recruiting them. Maybe that's what's making it feel disjointed.
Also yeah that kinda sucks for wii u players but at the very least its just a wooden sword and probably not something a lot of people will miss. Just like with the soup ladle for digital preorders.
Some random thoughts I've been thinking while watching the gameplay footage again.... Just gonna drop em in here.
- can the battle dialogues be fully voiced? i hope thats an option. they were so easy for me to miss in hw because they were so tiny and in the bottom corner. here, they are bigger and catch my eye better, but it was hard to tell if they were fully voiced because the game audio was so soft under all the presenters talking. it didnt seem like they were, but still. id like them to be.
- i love the new dodge animation. its so much faster than in hw. nice and slick.
- the keep boss being treated as an enemy captain instead of just a Bigger mob enemy is cool. makes it a little harder to mow down keeps. you gotta work for it a little more now.
- item drops gravitating to you instead of you floundering around to pick them up is super good qol for such a fast-paced game.
- the blue effects on strong attacks looks extremely cool.
- i noticed some sheikah writing popping up right before the bomb/cryonis symbols show up over those big enemy's heads. maybe the egg guardian is displaying that for us.
- the way the enemies ragdoll through the air brings me so much joy.
- mob enemies doing coordinated attacks in small groups is pretty cool. makes them more than just bodies to cut down.
- materials seem to come from destructible environmental things too like grass and trees, not just from enemies and chests.
- how many clones can impa make at a time? dang she can make more than i'd think would be allowed.

It's tempting, though the fact that I don't own a Switch makes it easier to resist.
Korok flower! Wonder what that does here...

Been thinking some more about stuff and things, and this time I thought I'd see if I couldn't put together the game's control scheme. Some I know from the prompts in the footage, and others are just educated guesses, but still, I think it's nice to have a rough idea of this sort of thing.
So, here's what I think it will be like...
Attack - Y
Strong Attack - X
Special Attack - A (confirmed)
Dodge - B
Shield - ZL
Character Action - ZR (confirmed)
Item - L + face buttons (confirmed)
Sheikah Slate - R + face buttons (confirmed)
Switch Character - D-Pad (confirmed)
There are other things I'm curious about too, like Link's shield surf seems to be a command input separate from the attack combos. Daruk being able to attack while rolling without stopping seems to be like this, too. We've also seen that Link can do Perfect Guard, and I'm gonna guess the input for that is to hold your shield and press Y similar to BotW. I think we can expect to see more command inputs like that. We also haven't seen Focus Spirit yet, but there wasn't a magic meter that I could see, so that might be gone. Or maybe it's done differently. Who knows. Whatever the case, the wide array of attack methods looks really solid and promising.

Innocent but not fearful.
^Haha, the best part of any game!
But am I excited to watch a beautiful and prosperous Hyrule be set on fire with all heroic characters meeting their untimely demise? HECK YES.
It JUST occurred to me that these yellow pins are in fact marking the locations of wizzrobes for you so you know where to go to refresh your magic rods. That's dope. At first I thought they were the general enemy captain marker but that didn't add up with all the moblins around without those marks. And the color matches the rod's element cuz you can see a red one in the Hyrule Field stream.
@MapelSerup pointed out that this exists. It's neat.

They're really stressing how involved the Zelda team is compared to before. I wonder what the Zelda team thinks about the towers, then...

New trailer introducing Robbie and Purah! I like their designs and voices, though I wish Purah had those glasses lol. I wonder if they're playable at all...
EDIT: @twilitfalchion pointed out to me she does have the glasses on her head lol.
